The tables were well prepared and staff were observing social distancing and Covid safe working practices. I started with the usual olives, bread, butter and fish paste, then Canja (chicken soup) as a starter and followed by Bacalhao a Braga, a dish of cod in a light batter covered in onions and red peppers with thinly sliced potato rounds roasted in the oven. The dish was delicious, cod cooked just right and the fish was so big it would have easily satisfied two people therefore I didn't finish it! I had a small Mousse de Maracuja (passion fruit mousse) to finish. They do wine by the jug here as well as by the bottle and the house white is pretty OK and it works out less expensive than buying wine by the glass. I can't say much about the service they were very pleasant and attentive, but I as I was the only diner present at the time, I wasn't able to see how they cope when they're full. Pricewise, OK; I've noticed since reopening after Covid lockdown, most of London's Portuguese restaurants have pushed their prices up, mainly on drinks but also on food. This one's no exception. The food, wine plus a bottle of mineral water, a small coffee and a Bagaso and an extra glass of wine came to almost £50. Pre Covid, this would have been more like £45. Still, it won't break the bank. I'd suggest that diners order one main between two; at least that way you'll have a chance of finishing it! The menu is slightly more varied than some Portuguese restaurants and someday soon, I'll go back for diner and try other tasty dishes, next with with a very empty stomach! Can't fault their generosity. Benefit of the doubt 4/5.
